ASHBURN, Va. - Washington Redskins coach Joe Gibbs has ruled Clinton Portis out for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys.<br>
<br>
Gibbs says the team's number-one running back didn't practice today and ''if a guy doesn't practice, he's not going to play.''<br>
<br>
Portis was downgraded from questionable to doubtful on the injury report after taking a pounding in last Monday night's season-opening loss to Minnesota.<br>
<br>
Portis injured his shoulder in Washington's first exhibition game and sat out the rest of the preseason.<br>
